ADAPTING: SISTERHOOD / SISTER CIRCLE
Sydnie L. Mosley is an award-winning choreographer and writer renowned for socially aware creative work with her collective SLMDances. Her repertoire including critically-acclaimed evening length dances PURPLE: A Ritual In Nine Spells (world premiere Lincoln Center 2023), The Window Sex Project, and BodyBusiness—as well as their creative processes—are a model for dance-activism. She was one of Dance Magazine’s “25 to Watch” in 2024 and recognized by former NYC Mayor de Blasio in 2017 for using dance to fuel social change. Sydnie was part of the Bessie Award-winning skeleton architecture, the future of our worlds, curated by Eva Yaa Asantewaa. In addition to her own work—which she has performed from Lincoln Center to the legendary Apollo Theater—she performed with Christal Brown's INSPIRIT (2010-2013) and Brooklyn Ballet (2009-2019). She has been a visiting lecturer at Harvard University. Her writing has appeared in ESSENCE, Dance Magazine, and The Washington Post. SLMDances has danced across the US including Brooklyn Museum, Center for the Performing Arts at Penn State, Dance Brigade (San Francisco), Dance Place (Washington DC), Joyce Soho, Harlem Stage, Judson Church, and many more. She is currently serving as Assistant Choreographer for the first-ever full staging of Zora Neale Hurston's Spunk presented by Yale Repertory Theatre, a play that was lost to time until the Library of Congress uncovered the drama in 1997.
